NCT ID NCT06960720

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a simple, 45-minute resistance exercise program (using bands) can help breast cancer survivors manage fatigue. Researchers will enroll 60 women from different income backgrounds to see if the program is practical and if income affects how well people stick with it. The goal is to understand if this type of exercise can be a realistic option for everyone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
resistance exercise program using bands and a physical therapy plan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple, home-based exercise program is a practical way to reduce fatigue for breast cancer survivors, regardless of income.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (60 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove the exercise actually reduces fatigue. Results may not apply to all survivors.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Oct 2025

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed Breast Cancer; any tumor molecular subtype can be enrolled. * Subjects must have been diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer, defined as stage 0, I, II, or III (according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Tumor, Node, Metastasis staging system), and must be between one and three years post-diagnosis at the time of enrollment. With treatment being received from the West Virginia University (WVU) Cancer Institute. * Any severity or report of fatigue. This can be done through a subjective report documented by any healthcare professional or through a screening tool like the enhanced distress thermometer. * Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Subjects who are pregnant (first or second trimester) or breastfeeding must receive additional approval from their obstetrics and gynecology physician for participation. Only individuals with a singleton pregnancy (no multiple gestations) will be eligible for participation. Pregnant participants must be in their first or second trimester at the time of enrollment to ensure they can complete the full three-month program before childbirth. Multiple gestations are associated with higher risks of pregnancy complications, increased physical limitations, and a greater likelihood of preterm delivery, which may prevent completion of the program. Exclusion Criteria: * Male biological gender. Males will be excluded from the study due to the rarity of male breast cancer and the variability gender creates on AL scores. * Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active alcoholism, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Subjects with pregnancy beyond the second trimester at the time of enrollment, as later stages of pregnancy may prevent completion of the full three-month program. * Subjects who are pregnant with multiple gestations (e.g., twins, triplets, or higher-order pregnancies) due to the increased risk of pregnancy-related complications, physical limitations, and the likelihood of preterm delivery, which may interfere with program completion. * Subjects whose self-reported household income is above or below the median household income in Appalachia ($61,688) and for whom the target enrollment of 30 participants in that respective SES group (higher or lower) has already been met at the time of screening, as representation of both SES groups is required for the study.
